  “Yes.”Nitte nodded and looked down at the floor.

  “Stupid!”Kant finally couldn’t hold back the anger in his chest and shouted. Everyone present was shocked by Kant’s anger.

  “Lord Kant, I know my mistake.”Nitte pursed his lips and apologized.

  “Of course you know. What don’t you know. “You know that it’s the right thing to leave your own people behind to fight against those ruffians and hooligans. You know that when others come to your rescue, block all the escape routes for yourself and your rescuers in one Go!”Kant rebuked harshly, although his words were mixed with some angry words, his dissatisfaction with Nitte had accumulated for a long time.

  When he looked at the corpses lying on the ground, the guilt in Kant’s heart could not be offset by other emotions.

  Bunduk quietly walked behind Kant, his eyes full of worry.

  After Kant finished speaking, he sat back in his seat. Nitte, who knelt in front of him, still did not say a word. He owed Kant too much.

  “Wait.”After calming down for a while, Kant opened his eyes and said to Abel, “Where is the soldier who handed this thing to you? where is he? I have something to ask him.”

  “Yes.”Abel raised his eyebrows in surprise and replied. Then, he walked to the soldier’s formation. After a while, a young elven soldier followed behind him and walked to Kant.

  “Your Highness Kant! Captain of the fourth squad, Roy.”The Elven soldier saluted.

  “Roy, do you still remember what your soldier looked like when you bribed him with this glass tube?”Kant handed the green powder ink to Roy, then, he asked, “That nomads army disguised as soldiers. At the beginning of the battle, I reckon that only one person was awake. We need to find him.”

  “I remember,”Roy answered confidently.

  The training that the Elven soldier received in the military barrack was more about training the brain than physical fitness.

  For him, it was a piece of cake to copy the appearance of the person he had met dozens of minutes ago.

  “Okay, you bring the soldier in your team with you. First, search the shop and see if there is any soldier you have seen.”Kant patted Roy’s shoulder and said, “We are waiting for your news.”

  “Yes!”Roy bowed and replied. After that, he immediately led his six or seven soldiers up the inn’s stairs and began to search carefully.

  Compared to the noise coming from upstairs, the hall was deathly silent.

  Bunduk and Abel were still standing behind Kant, not saying a word. The current situation was already tragic enough. They really couldn’t think of anything to say at this time.

  The aura emitted by Kant’s body made everyone present not even dare to breathe.

  “Tidy up the bodies of the attendants. They are all orphans adopted by the boss and have no home on this island.”Kant’s sigh broke the silence, he whispered, “Bury them all together. Nitte, the funeral will be presided over by you. We will help. This is also the last time we will have contact with you.”

  “Thank…… Thank you, Lord Kant.”After Nitte heard Kant’s words, he prostrated himself in the ground.

  “.…… Yes.”

  Nitte stood up with the help of the attendants. A group of people limped forward to search for the corpses of their brothers in the shop. Abel sent another group of soldier to assist them.

  “Your Highness Kant, don’t blame yourself.”Bunduk looked at Kant’s back and said softly.

  “But these dozens of lives were wasted just like that. If we can persevere and stay……”Kant said with his head lowered. His tone was full of regret.

  “Based on the information we had at that time, we could not have foreseen this step.”Abel sighed. “A person can not be resurrected after death. Please, Your Majesty, my condolences.”

  Kant tried his best to calm down the surging sadness in his chest. Finally, he gradually calmed down.

  The waiters in the shop lined up the dead bodies of the shop assistants, preparing to send them to the crematorium in the town for cremation.

  “What do you plan to do next?”Kant asked Nitte calmly.

  “We…… will continue to stay in the shop.”Nitte hesitated for a moment and said, “When the business is better, we will continue to adopt the orphans of the orcs like the boss.”

  “Yes,”Kant replied softly and did not comment.

  “This matter is too big. The bodies of these nomads will be handed over to the monitoring station by yourselves.”Bunduk said, “They will investigate it for you.”

  “Yes, Lord Bunduk.”Nate bowed and said.

  Just as Abel was giving some details to Nate, Roy and the others came down from the second floor with a gnome.

  “Lord Kant, we found it!”Roy’s face was slightly ruddy. He carried the gnome to Kant.

  Kant looked at the Gnome and saw that he was soft and boneless. He frowned and asked, “What happened to him?”

  “I saw the mark left by the green powder on his finger. He must have fallen asleep after the effects of the medicine wore off,”Roy explained. “This kid fell into an empty guest room. It seems like he broke into the room. “The floor of that room was filled with his shit.”

  After listening to Roy’s statement, Bunduk took a closer look at the sleeping gnome. After smelling a pungent smell, he immediately withdrew his body.

  “Now, we can only wait for the kid to wake up before we can get anything out of him.”Abel thought for a while, he said, “Nate, leave the matters here to us. You guys should hurry up and prepare the matters related to the funeral.”

  “Okay.”Nate’s eyes sized up Kant and the other two. After a while, he left with the attendants beside him.

  There was a public cemetery next to the crematorium. After discussing with the others, Nate decided to use the money from the shop to buy a cemetery there. He buried the dead waiters in that piece of land.

  “Your Highness, do you want to go back to the inn in the teahouse to rest for a while?”After watching Nate and the others leave, Abel suggested worriedly to Kant.

  In his eyes, Kant’s current status was extremely unstable. If he stayed like this until the Gnome Nomads woke up, he probably wouldn’t be able to fully deal with some special situations.

  “Alright, I’ll go back and rest for a while. You and Bunduk, keep an eye on this gnome.”Kant nodded and accepted Abel’s suggestion.

  Chapter 913: The State of mind where one can not rest at ease

  After returning to the inn, Kant immediately sent people to pick up Bunduk who had rushed over from the guild.

  Abel stayed with him in the Hall of the teahouse, quietly waiting for Bunduk’s arrival.

  “By the way, What’s Your Name?”Abel asked the gnome beside him.

  After the Gnome understood his current situation, he became listless. When he stayed with Kant and Abel, he remained silent. When he heard Abel’s question, he softly replied, “Abel.”

  “Yasi, do you have any family in this small town?”Abel continued to ask.

  “No.”Yasi slowly shook his head and said, “I came to this small island alone. Because here, no one can restrain me.”

  “In a moment, Nate’s people will take you to the monitoring station.”Kant said, “Do you still remember what I Told You?”

  “To tell the truth, we pretended to be a soldier of the monitoring station and broke into this inn,”ash nodded and replied.

  “Well, if the judge of the monitoring station asks you any questions about the guild, you can also provide them with some information in exchange for a lighter punishment,”Kant looked at the Gnome and instructed.

  “What kind of lighter punishment?”Ash raised his head and met Kant’s gaze.

  “About two years,”Kant replied. “If you have anything you want to bring to your family outside the island, we can pass it on to them for you.”

  “.…… No.”Ashe paused for a moment and continued, “I don’t have anything I want to bring to my family. If they find this island, I’ll be in trouble.”

  Kant raised his eyebrows in confusion, but still did not say anything.

  The conversation ended there. Abel went to the kitchen and brought a pot of new tea. The three of them sipped their tea and locked their gazes on the door of the teahouse.

  Ten minutes later, Bunduk returned to the teahouse with the soldier who had gone to pick him up.

  When he saw Kant and the others, he immediately went forward and said, “Your Highness!”

  “There was no trouble on the way, right?”Kant gestured for Bunduk to sit down and asked.

  “Nothing.”Bunduk waved his hand and replied, “It’s just that I haven’t been able to find you. I’m a little anxious.”

  “The servants of the guild arranged explosives in our carriage,”Abel explained. “It’s really not safe to stay there. After we got rid of the gunpowder, we came back first.”

  “This kid is awake.”Bunduk agreed with Abel’s explanation. His gaze shifted to the gnome sitting at the side. His eyes widened as he said, “The people of the guild are looking for him everywhere.”

  “On the way here, we were worried that you might run into an accident,”Kant instructed. “Since the current situation is relatively smooth, let’s quickly send people to send the Gnome and the inn’s servants to the monitoring station.”

  “Yes, it is indeed better to act as soon as possible.”Bunduk nodded and replied calmly.

  “Abel, let the two teams in the team follow you to carry out the mission. On this trip, bring out the soldier who is trapped in the prison,”Kant said.

  “Yes.”Abel stood up and said politely.

  “Wait, I want to go too!”Bunduk said as Abel turned to leave.

  “You stay in the shop and have a good rest.”Abel turned around and rejected Bunduk’s request. He said, “Your Highness’safety needs to be protected by you.”

  “Okay.”Bunduk hesitated for a moment and returned to his seat. He gave up the idea of going with Abel.

  Abel quickly chose a dozen or so soldiers to accompany him. Without a moment’s delay, a group of people got into the carriage heading to the monitoring station.

  “Alright, everyone, go back to your rooms and rest.”Kant ordered the soldier behind him and the surrounding attendants.

  “Yes.”After Kant gave the order, everyone returned to their seats.

  “Your Highness, you’ve been tired all day. Go back to the guest room and rest for a while.”Bunduk sat at the side of the teahouse, drank a mouthful of tea, and suggested to Kant.

  “Yes.”Kant glanced at him and said, “But you also have to go and rest.”

  “Yes? No…… I’m here…… Okay.”Bunduk was stunned. His explanation was cut off at the tip of his tongue, and he helplessly agreed to Kant’s request.

  The two of them returned to the guest room on the third floor, one after the other.

  After Kant changed into casual clothes in his room, he returned to the main hall of the guest room. He said to Bunduk, who was sitting on the sofa and looking very uneasy, “Don’t worry. Abel and the others are going to the monitoring station. No matter how arrogant the people of the guild are, they won’t choose to make a move there.”

  “Yes.”Bunduk took a deep breath and replied, “Your Highness, why don’t you go back to your room and rest?”

  “I…… Will sit here for a while……”Kant paused and replied.

  What happened today was a little out of the scope of his burden. Although Kant was physically and mentally exhausted, he still couldn’t put his mind at ease and lay on the bed to rest.

  “I’ll go make a pot of tea.”Bunduk and Kant had been together for a long time, so he naturally knew Kant’s current state of mind. In order to avoid the tense atmosphere because of this question, he got up and walked to the bathroom.

  After Bunduk left, Kant sat down on a chair by the window. He looked at the night view downstairs. He hoped that Abel would appear safe and sound in his field of vision.

  His troubled emotions were restless in Kant’s heart. He looked at the lights on both sides of the street and was unconsciously lost in thought. He did not even realize that Bunduk had appeared behind him.

  “Your Highness, the weather on this island is quite cold at night.”Bunduk carefully put on a coat for Kant to resist the cold of the night wind.

  “Thank you,”Kant replied with a smile.

  “Your Highness, I think we might be able to leave this place,”Bunduk said carefully after a moment of silence.

  “Why?”Kant’s voice was very soft. He didn’t even turn his head to look at Bunduk.

  “The things on this island are really too troublesome. They are scheming layer by layer. “Even Gilbert has his guard up against us. He needs to send someone to test our sincerity.”Bunduk frowned and said, “I really don’t want to bet the safety of our group on such a person.”

  “Yes.”Kant nodded slightly, he said, “What you said is very reasonable. “But if you want to interfere in a group that has already developed and take control of the clues you want to obtain, you have to go through this process. “I hope I don’t have to place my hopes on a lie.”This sentence was originally a refutation
